Hello lovelies! Today I have a brand new shining author visiting. Her name is Bethany-Kris and she's here with her first published novel, A Mile High. Let's give her a warm welcome!
A Mile Highby Bethany-Kris
Hello! Thanks for having me on your blog
today and giving me the chance to talk about my first ever release. A little
information on the book first, and why it came to be… A Mile High was product
of my stressful work, upcoming vacation that wasn’t going to be arriving nearly
soon enough, and my very hectic house. In the midst of all that chaos, I wanted
to write about someone—Olivia—who also found herself wrapped up in just about
everything except herself, and was in desperate need of a vacation.
This short, fun, and sexy novella ended
up being the product of my overworked mind. It gave me the chance to escape
into two characters who gave random circumstance the chance to take over and
see where it went. Imagine my surprise and excitement when Evernight Publishing
said yes to my submission for it. I do hope it catches your eye.
Summary: Olivia wants a vacation, that’s all, but when the airline screws
up her plans for a week getaway to the beautiful Barbados, instead putting her
on a new path that intertwines with the handsome, funny, and charming Sal, she
can’t say no to his offer of joining the mile high club. Their meeting is
explosive, attraction intense, and when the flight ends, Olivia is unwilling to
part ways but unable to voice her wants. Still, fate is at work with its own
plan, and where it finishes just might not be where it ends up.
There’s nothing quite like sex at a mile
high.

Excerpt:
“Doubt it,” Sal put in quietly. “Pilot’s all ready
to go, we’re away from the gates, and there’s another plane bussing in to take
off behind us right now, probably. We’re taking off. Her friend will likely
give her some Gravol, set her up in their little section there, and we’ll be on
our way.
A quick, vague apology sounded over the plane’s
announcement system, informing the passengers it would be another minute before
takeoff. Given I had a bit of time to do whatever, I decided to use the
bathroom. Excusing myself from our comfortable little cubby, I made my way
through to the back of the plane, ignoring the questioning gazes of other
passengers in coach who were likely wondering what had happened up in first
class.
In the panic-worthy, small as hell bathroom, I
washed my face and hands, checking my face out in the mirror as a ding sounded
above me. I looked up to see the seatbelt sign had appeared just as the pilot’s
voice sounded over the speakers, asking everyone to buckle up and ready for
takeoff.
Making my way back to my seat as quickly as
possible, I had just moved in to sit down—Sal drawing in his stretched out legs
to let me through—as the plane jerked forward. I yelped under my breath, trying
to catch myself but between the black, peep-toe pumps with a four-inch heel on
my feet, and the sudden movement, I ended up on something warm…and hard.
Something that breathed, chuckled, and touched me.
Sal.
My brown hair created a curtain over my face.
Huffing a breath and blowing strands out of my line of vision, Sal laughed in
my ear, rocking both our bodies. I felt his hands skim above my knees where the
flimsy material of the skirt I wore had risen up. Gooseflesh pebbled at the
motion and I tried hard not to shiver when fingers grasped tightly to my legs.
“You okay?” he murmured. “Because I think you’re
just fine.”
I nodded, trying really hard not to be embarrassed.
I didn’t want to show how turned on I was by his palms to my flesh and the
suggestive tone to his words. “Yeah, just surprised. I’m so—”
“Don’t be,” he interrupted, voice turning huskier
than I expected. “Unless you plan on moving, that is.”
Teeth cut into my bottom lip as I fought the urge
to exhale harshly. “I have to. We’re just about to take off, right?”
The dismissive sound he made under his breath didn’t help the lust
raging through my senses. Those warm hands of his skimmed a little higher under
my dress, making me groan quietly, grinding my backside shamelessly against his
jeans when he whispered, “You ever join the mile-high club?”
